Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Chapter 418 When Xianyang City is full of high-rise buildings...

The weather gradually gets warmer over time, and there are even occasional hot two days.

The people of Xianyang City come and go in an endless stream.

The re-laid blue brick road is flat and neat.

Below this, it took a full two months to excavate the sewer.

Below today's Daqin Street, cement pipes made of special cement extend in all directions.

Although compared to the later generations after more than two thousand years, it seems very simple and monotonous.

But in Daqin, which can only rely on manpower to excavate and construct, it is obviously already an extremely remarkable project.

Now the rest is just waiting for the rainy season to come and test the efficacy of this sewer.

"Boom..." A dull thunder sounded.

Bean-sized raindrops were splashed on the earth by gloomy cumulonimbus clouds.

The constantly echoing wind sound seems to be laughing at the powerlessness of human beings in the face of this natural force.

However, the crowd in the street below did not have much panic on their faces when faced with the heavy rain.

The oil-paper umbrellas opened up to provide shelter for pedestrians.

With the continuous expansion of the scale of the paper mill.

Oil paper is no longer a novelty in Daqin.

Oil-paper umbrellas, which were born under the intervention of Xianyang Palace, are used by every household in case of emergencies.

The main street with the largest flow of people has a unique way to face the nuisance of this rainy season.

I saw that the eaves of the shops on both sides suddenly unfolded the wide rain curtain that had been folded.

The wide rain curtain rises and falls, one on top of the other, giving no chance for the rain to take advantage of.

With a width of nearly 30 feet, and the thick and flexible layers of oil paper on it, the crowds and hawkers on the street are closely guarded inside.

Did not let them be disturbed by wind and rain for half a minute.

On the contrary, the rainwater flowing down the rain curtain forms a series of water curtains in the center of the main street, which is quite interesting.

These rain curtains were made by Qin Mo and others under the inspiration of Su Yu.

Its ingenious folding structure can fold the several-wide steel bracket together with the oil paper on it.

When it rains, as long as it is opened, and the support feet are placed under the bracket, a large area of ​​​​shading and rain protection can be carried out.

It can be said to be an improved and enhanced version of the rain curtain at the beginning of Su Yu's house.

Moreover, this rain curtain is simple to manufacture, the materials are cheap, and the most expensive is the steel that is very high-yield in Daqin.

Therefore, it was also manufactured in large quantities by Xianyang Palace, and then installed on both sides of the shops on the main street for free.

This saves the tax revenue that Main Street will start to decline because of the rainy season.

It was raining heavily. Except for the noise of the main street, which could still cover the sound of the rain, the newcomers in other places were in a hurry.

Water has already started to accumulate on the streets.

If it is the past, it will not take long under this situation.

The low-lying places in Xianyang City will start to accumulate water.

It will not dry until a few days after the heavy rain has passed.

It's just that Da Qin, who has a sewer this year, will no longer have the embarrassment of the past.

The rainwater on the street had just accumulated, and it flowed along the blue brick and slate along the street into the floor drain connected to the sewer.

The rainwater goes straight to the huge sedimentary pond outside the city through pipes poured with special cement, and then sinks into Weishui.

The wind and rain will stop, the dark clouds will disperse, and the sun will reappear.

After the rain, there is a rainbow hanging on the horizon, and the fresh air is mixed with the fragrance of the soil, which makes people can't help but take two more breaths.

The rain curtains on Main Street were closed, and business continued as usual.

The people of Xianyang City also flooded the streets again as the rain dissipated.

Although there are still some small puddles on the street, it is obviously no longer able to hinder the activities of the people of Xianyang City.

It has to be said that the appearance of sewers is indeed a boon for Xianyang City.

Lao Zhao and Su Yu stood on the terrace of Li Si's new house, looking at the crowd on the street below, with smiles on their faces.

If the sewer is successful, then the construction of public health facilities can be on the right track.

"Su Yu, your presence is really a blessing to our Daqin." Lao Zhao looked at the lively street and couldn't help sighing sincerely.

Su Yu laughed: "I, at first, just wanted to make my life more convenient and colorful."

"Is that realized now?" Lao Zhao looked at Su Yu with a half-smile.

There was a smile on the corner of Su Yu's mouth. After thinking about it, he shook his head slightly: "Half of it is realized. Now Xianyang City, and even Daqin, there is still a lot of room for development."5

"After so many years, Xianyang City will be full of tall buildings, and the night will be as bright and lively as the daytime, so... I will be able to successfully hide.

Hearing Su Yu's words, Lao Zhao couldn't help but feel yearning.

But then when I think about it, I am no longer young now, and I don't know how many years to live, and I can't help but sigh.

"Hey...I don't know if I have a chance to see such a prosperous world with my own eyes.

Su Yu patted Lao Zhao on the shoulder, and the smile on his face became more inexplicable: "Exercise well and eat well, you have a chance."

Facing Su Yu's "comfort" Lao Zhao just smiled bitterly.

He knew that there should be no such opportunity.

After all, with the speed of Daqin's development, it would take decades to say the least to reach the level that Su Yu said?

Young people like Su Yu and Hu Hai are fine.

But the older generation like them... I am afraid they are not that lucky.

"Let's go, go downstairs for a drink, so does this guy, Lao Li, he has to make a special one to build a four-story building, it's really troublesome. 99

Hearing Su Yu muttering to himself, Lao Zhao also burst into laughter, and immediately followed downstairs.

After eating this meal today, they will go to the pier early tomorrow.

After all, the new large ship loaded with steam engine will be launched for the first time tomorrow.

He, the first emperor, had to be present at whatever he said.
